French oak barrels.
·Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass.
Brightly perfumed with aromas of black cherries, strawberries, spice and
herbs. Delicious core of perfectly ripe black cherries with a hint of spice,
truffle and sandalwood in the background. A magical wine that is soft on
the palate, exhibiting impeccable balance, and finishing with a cherry-driven
flourish that is dry, persistent and extremely satisfying. Drinking perfectly now.Reviewed May 11, 2012
